Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure may include an apparatus including an optical fiber having a distal end and configured to emit a beam of energy. The apparatus may also include a first lens coupled to the distal end of the optical fiber and a sheath including a channel and a second lens positioned on a distal region of the sheath. The optical fiber may be disposed within the channel of the sheath to permit relative movement between the first lens and the second lens and thereby adjust a beam of energy that exits the sheath.
